One game offering hundreds of hours of fun on the Switch that you might not have yet played is Larian Studios' epic RPG adventure, Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition. This masterpiece received a surprise digital release on the eShop back in September, and now Limited Run has revealed a physical version will be up for pre-order on 6th December.
Here's the official announcement via Twitter:
This version, like the eShop one, will feature cross-save support and will also allow you to send online play invites to your friends. Limited Run has confirmed this game will also be available in Best Buy, and that the international version will include "all languages" on the card.
Have you been holding out for a physical copy of this game on Switch? Tell us below.

Wasn't waiting for a physical copy. More like, my backlog is just too massive, haha.
Another one for the wishlist. I'd rather have physical for this game.
If I have the money I’ll be pre ordering it,
Excellent news. I'm thrilled that LRG got the distribution deal with Best Buy for games like this. I know an all-digital era is coming, probably as soon as the next console generation, but I'm not ready to give up on physical yet.
I like digital for games that I jump in and out of for short sessions. Not for long, deep dives and RPGs.
Yes, I've been waiting for this. When I get a copy then I shall be the most powerful version of me forever!
Damn, I bought this day one, but may need it on physical. It's a massive game.... (I'm 55 hours in and think I'm half way through. Love every moment).
Full game on the cartridge. Can always count on LRG to deliver that.
I already bought digitally, but you best believe this is on the day one list. Divinity Original Sin 2 and The Witcher 3 all on a cartridge for a hybrid handheld console? Yessir. Sign me up right now.
Yep, I've been on the lookout for this. Will preorder. I can't spend more than $20 on digital games anymore, just can't. Also hoping to see a physical for Fell Seal Arbiters Mark
Very nice. I'm not interested in the game myself, but a physical release is most welcome, especially as the game is on the chunkier side. Frankly I'm a little surprised that games like these haven't been issued a wider release. Yes, they're late ports, blah, blah, blah, but they're portable for the very first time, and there are no installation requirements.
Sure, there are cheaper alternatives elsewhere, but Switch physical releases offer a unique value proposition that too many conveniently ignore. Still too expensive? Then grab the cheaper version. Problem solved. Too many of my games on prior platforms have remained unplayed/unfinished due to lack of portability.
I'm definitely interested.
I didn't get this (and another well received game.. I'm looking at you, Grid) due to digital only, and having a ridiculous backlog of games still to play between both my Switch and PS4 anyway.
Assuming the price is reasonable, I'm in though. It can sit with my other games and look pretty until the day comes that I'd finally get around to playing it. About the same time that I stop being obsessed by Monster Hunter.
As big as the file size is for this game, physical is almost mandatory for me. I'm in!
Holding out I been waiting for this since the PC.
Crap. I'm gonna buy this, and I'm really trying to not buy any full priced titles until the new year. But dang, I want this on a cart.
Well early December just got expensive - I’ll be picking up alien Isolation, Assassins Creed and this
Now I'm really happy I didn't buy it already. This will be my first Limited Run game, really looking forward to it.
Does anybody know the price and when it will release?
I must have this! Amazing!
Awesome game, if you have the chance, get it!
Does anyone know if you can preorder from Best Buy as well or just directly from LR? I haven't gotten a LR game before and would prefer to get it at Best Buy since I have some gift cards.
Yes you can preorder it at Best Buy @Darknilious. But the catch is Best Buy doesn't announce when it's LRG games will become available for preorder. So you'll need to check the Best Buy Website daily to see if it's up for preorder yet or not. Just visit the Best Buy website and type in (Limited Run Games Switch) in the search box to find all the Limited Run Games available to buy and preorder for Switch.
Thanks! @CurryPowderKeg79
Boo, I already bought the digital version. Oh well.
This, does put a smile on my face.
Almost downloaded this last night due to sale: WHEEEEEEEEEEWW!!
It would have been nice to include the link to the pre-order website, @NintendoLife.
Passed on the digital release, even the Black Friday deal, just for this physical release. Hoping the first one makes it way to Switch too!
hope best buy is still getting an order of this......
